Abstrakt: This paper, from the Physiological Laboratory of Stanford University, reviews previous discussions of this subject, gives an account of the parts concerned in accommodation, and reaches the conclusion that in birds this is accomplished by movement of the refracting media along the axis of vision, rather than by changing the curvature of the surfaces. In this it resembles focussing with the camera, rather than’ focussing with the human eye.
